I honor you, Hero, for you do not play to the crowd.
You play to your own soul.

but that is not why you are a hero.

who rescued comrades in battle,
or taught a young girl how to shed tears of joy.
Whatever you did, you did not do for fame.
If you had, you would not be a Hero.
You are a Hero for your bold courageous inspired action.
